"Ha... ha... ha..."
Garfiel's ragged breaths rose and fell, his face filled with unwillingness.
"Damn... it..."
Garfiel seemed to want to struggle back to his feet, but he failed.
Even though Earth Spirit's Blessing was continuously repairing Garfiel's body and gradually healing his injuries, healed injuries did not mean he could move again.
"I wasn't just beating you up at random, you know?"
Fang Li looked down at Garfiel lying in the shattered crater and spoke as though nothing had happened.
